Application filed April 13,

To all LU/1077b it may concern.

Be it known that InvIN 8. EACH, a citizen of United States of America,residing at Eastliockaway, Long Island, New York, U. S. A., has inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Handkerchief Sets, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to handkerchief sets and particularly tohandkerchief sets intended for children.

The object of the invention is to provide a handkerchief set comprisinga plurality of handkerchiefs folded together in such a manner as toexpose a portion of each handkerchief, upon which portion a suitablemarking, design or designation may be printed, embroidered or otherwiseapplied so thatall of said markings, designs or designations are visibleat once. i

More specifically the object of the invention is to provide ahandkerchief set comprising a plurality of handkerchiefs, each havingthe name of a day of the week printed, embroidered or otherwise markedthereon. the handkerchiefs being folded together in such manner that thesaid names of the days of the week are all exposed in their serialarrangement, and so that the handkerchiefs having said names appliedthereto may be removed in succession from the set without disturbing theremainder of the handkerchiefs, which remain in condition to show thebalance of said serial arrangement until all are used.

The invention is illustrated in one form in the accompanyingdrawings, inwhich 2- Figure 1 shows a handkerchief set indicating the days of theweek in accordance with the present invention; and

Figure 2 is a view showing the manner in which the handkerchiefs arerelatively arranged and superposed before folding, to expose portions ofeach thereof.

The set of handkerchiefs selected for illustration comprises sevenhandkerchiefs numbered 1 to 7 respectively. and which may be made of anysuitable material and may be stitched, embroidered or otherwiseornamented in any suitable or desired manner.

The several handkerchiefs, at corresponding portions or corners thereof,are printed, embroidered or otherwise marked with the names of the daysof the week, so that the set of handkerchiefs represents a weeks supply,each marked for a particular day of Specification of Letters latexit.Patented June 1?, v 1922 1921. Serial No. 461,663.

the week, and adapted to be individually removed from the set for use.

In arranging the handkerchiefs for foldng, they are superposed one uponanother in the manner indicated in Figure 2, so' as to expose thatportion or corner of each handkerchief upon which the name is printed orembroidered. It will be noted from Figure Qthat the entire set ofhandker'chiefs occup es a, square of greater size than any individualhandkerchief, the lowermost hantt kerchief 7 representing Saturdayoccupying a position at the lower right hand cornerv of the square. Thehandkerchiefse and 5 representing Friday and Thursday respectively aresuperposed upon the handkerchief 7 in the manner shown with thehandkerchief '6 occupying the lower middle portion of the square and thehandkerchief 5 occupying the lower left hand corner of the square. Thehandkerchie'fs 4 and 3 representing Wednesday and Thursdayare thensuper'po'sedupon the handkerchiefs 5, 6 and 7 with the handkerchiefetoccupying the middle portion of the right hand side of the square andthe handkerchief 3 occupying the upper right hand corner of said square.The handkerchief 2 representing Monday is superposed on thehandkerchiefs 3 to 7, handkerchief 2 occupying the central portion ofthe square, and the handkerchief 1 representing Sunday is thensuperposed on the remainder of the handkerchiefs, occupying the upperleft hand corner of the square.

It will be seen that by arranging the handkerchiefs in this way, thatportion or corner of each thereof having the name of the correspondingday of the week thereon is exposed so that the various names aresimultaneously exhibited in substantially the order of their serialarrangement. The entire set of handkerchiefs arranged in accordance withFigure 2 is then folded first along the line I-I and then along the lineII-JI and by folding in this way the handkerchief set shown in Figure 1is obtained, the visible portion of the set comprising exposed portionsor corners of a plurality of handkerchiefs, each having a name of a dayof the week thereon.

The handkerchiefs, due to the manner of arranging and folding the samereferred to above, may individually be removed from the set in the orderof their serial arrangement without disturbing the handkerchiefsremaining in the set, which continue to indicate the balance of theserial arrangement of the names marked thereon, that is the balance ofthe days of the week, until all the kerchiefs in the manner described.

The invention provides a handkerchief set, particularly'adapted for theuse of children,

of novel, neat and attractive appearance.

The set of handkerohiefs may be mounted on a card or backing and tiedaround with ribbon or the like, if so desired.

l/Vhat I claim and desire to secure by Let- -ters Patent is 1.. Ahandkerchief set, comprising a plurality of handkerchiefs provided oncorresponding portions thereof with markings having a serialarrangement, said handkerchiefs being displaced relative to each otherto expose all of said markings and said plurality of handkerchiefs beingfolded on lines at right angles to each other to permit removal one at atime without disturbing the rest in the order of said serialarrangement.

2.- A plurality of handkerchiefs provided I .ed together on lines atright angles to each other'to permit removal of the handkerchiefs one ata time in consecutive order, each without disturbing the remainder ofthe handkerchiefs. V
